Your brick story

My nan whittled away at my mum's self confidence over the years. I stayed quite despite it was burning me up inside. I hated visiting my nan because I knew she'd hurt my mum more, and my dad wouldn't ever say anything to his mum about the way she behaved. Eventually, it got to much for mum and she ended up in hospital under observation. She's been there for three years and she has good moments, and then she has her bad moments. My nan is still alive and has moved onto my brother now. Thankfully my brother will stand up for himself, and he talks to me when he's down. Though he's on anti-depressants, he's coping better than mum did. I just wish the woman I'm supposed to call nan, would hurry up and die. She is NOT nice.

Dear Anon, This is an awful burden for you - not to mention your mum and your brother. What is it that your Nan does to bring everyone down?
If you reply you will still be anon.

This is a nasty situation, how stressful it must be for you all. I wonder why she is like this? There must be something horrid in her own life that she feels the need to make everyone else miserable. No excuses though.

My "nan" has spent every day since my parents married plying mum with mental abuse. about 7 or 8 years ago, my nan got a walking stick and since then she'd also hit my mum while calling her names, pushing her limits, telling her that she was unclean etc. One time she even gave mum a bottle of strong painkillers and told her to go kill herself... IN FRONT OF MY BROTHER AND I. My nan constantly tells my brother and I we are unclean and will go to hell because my parents had us both outside of wedlock, though they have been together for 30 years. They married 15 years ago. My nan worships dad (her son) but resents my mum, brother and I. The best bit? She refuses to put us in her will because she thinks mum had an affair. We even went for DNA testing to prove her wrong. we are both dad's children, yet she thinks we cheated... So, next year when I finally get to move abroad like I've been planning, my brother is moving with me. Dad will visit a lot, and we're seeing about moving mum over with us too. I think (hope) mum will get better if she is with us. I know I'll be there for her, as will my brother. We always are, will be, and we'll never forgive nan.

Hey anon, this probably could get sadder or worse for you mum you and your brother. What does you dad do to protect you? I don't know how old you are but I think you should be able to ensure that you are not exposed to this kind of violence - and it is violence and abuse. It is also really horrid that she is labeling you all in such a derogatory way.
have you asked your dad to intervene?

Anon - my heart to you. This is intolerable, and your "nan" is an evil old cow. Your Dad should be protecting you from this horrible person. Your mum has been destroyed by spite and malice - how can this happen?
Are you old enough to take care of your mum? Can you and your brother cope? I think you need to get away from your nan and your dad, because he is an adult and has allowed this to happen to you, around you, and to his wife. Whether they got legally married or not, she is still his wife, and you are their children, no matter what.
Take care
